Abstract excerpt
Cartilage and synovium are essential tissues involved in joint-related diseases and traits, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and human height. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify numerous risk loci for these traits, the molecular mechanisms underlying these associations, particularly those involving alternative splicing, remain poorly understood due to the lack of...
